Assessment Items from the Molecular Biology 2 Small Group
Learning Objective: Describe the relationship between a gene and the product it encodes.
Formative Assessment
Given a 100 amino acid protein, how many nucleotides would its gene have?
A) 100
B) 200
C) 300
D) more than 300
Summative Assessment #1
Imagine you are interested in expressing a human gene in E. coli on a plasmid vector. The gene contains 3 exons and 2 introns. Check all of the items that you will need to have on the plasmid in order to accomplish this task (2 items have been checked for you).
